Maybe they are promoting the games featuring teams competing instead of 1v1? I mean Counter Strike was big as well in the International scene because of its gameplay. I think this is the same reason they are really promoting LoL like this. Oh well, just hope that SC2 would not go down in the e-sports scene. | ||

Just because the game can be played mechanically to perfection with something like 100APM, does not mean the skill required overall(skill is not just mechanical ability) is low. Does Flash have the highest consistent APM of BW pros?(that's a rhetorical question, but for those who don't know the implied answer is no, yet he is still 'god') | ||

Some tournaments choose LoL while some choose Dota or HoN. This is not the case with SC2 because almost every single tournament out there has SC2. This is why I am not really worried about SC2's future at all. ARTS's games will compete each other. | ||

SC2 is getting a bit stale, but I'd assume that once the last expansion is out, they have finally most if not all planned bnet features done and the game's units have been finalized, it will be a proper successor to BW. At least I hope so... it might be too late. I just want them to break the static lineup in LoL, if they manage to make more strats viable and increase the lane activity it would be so much more interesting to follow. | ||

I will give you as long as you want to train and put a team together. You will then play against a group of people I can get together from the LoL community here on TL. And then you will get crushed. | ||

Well, Blizzard got their last two air bubbles to breath from til the next few years, giving them some hope of not drowning in their own arrogance and mistakes. Meanwhile we hope for a new OSL to start soon. And people who hate on LoL for being too casual, remember to not be a hypocrite. | ||

It's just the game that is mechanically easier than SC/SC2 not that playing agaisnt other players is easy. Just like when people say SC2 is mechanically easier than SC:BW doesn't mean winning GSL is easy. | ||

It is sooooooo boring and so easy and just, well, boring. And it is sad to hear that SC2 is not/will not be #1 in Korea (after BW I mean). But also in Europe/US it seems that LoL is #1 Remember last IEM? 200k watching LoL and 50k watching SC2. I think I am too old, or not enough openminded to understand popularity of LoL. :/ | ||

OGN is doing a LOT to promote LoL (probably paid by Riot Games but that's my suspicion), even pushing OSL down the schedule and moving the two big-name casters to promoting LoL. But let me tell you that it's shit to watch on TV because OGN isn't casting in HD, so even on my relative's HD tv, I feel like i'm watching in 240p and can't tell shit apart (which kinda turns me off). this is from first-hand experience watching the first LoL broadcast on LoL. If they fix some things like that though, LoL will definitely take off a lot bigger in korea at a very very scary pace that will put Blizzard to shame. | ||
